    maybe if we called it a ‘subsidy’. ha

    subsidies for very profitable corporations: a-ok ! tax cuts for people with more money than they could ever actually spend: you betcha! the welfare jobs program we call ‘the united states military’: ha, no reductons there, ever!

    human beings who need to eat food: go fuck yourself

    the lack of empathy in the republican party is so stark its hard to fathom.

      They’d hate that too. Then GOP hates the word “subsidy” when it’s associated with something they don’t like. Example: subsidies for transitioning to green technology.

        Maybe they need to frame it as a subsidy for grocery stores and large food businesses, it just takes a temporary detour though somebodies bank account to get to the intended recipient.

        It’s also amusing that such a federal policy would actually help stimulate their economy because poor people are always forced to spend all their money but he’s too blind in his hatred for poor people that he can’t see the economic benefits to business in his state that it would bring. Business groups should be calling for his scalp too.
